Topic: David Roffman (Read 1317 times)

Has anyone done a systematic debunking of the father and son team of Barry and David Roffman and their "Mars Correct"? http://davidaroffman.com/ Note I am not advocating the opinions expressed on that site in any shape or form.

They allege that NASA is misrepresenting the atmospheric pressure on Mars and of course doctoring images and Mars colours.

I can see the usual mess of special pleading, factual errors, and guilt by innuendo. The son (David Alexander Roffman) is said to have a physics PhD from the University of Florida. this appears to be genuine. Needless to say it's not in Martian meteorology.

Only had to read the first line of his Home page description to know that I need not read any further.
